I will be doing the Designing for Common Problems in SQL Server session, along with the Sequences session that I have done at several SQL Saturdays so far.&#160; Saturday I will give away two copies of my brand new book, one in each session, so if you want to be the first person I give one to, be there!</p> <p>Right now, the biggest issue is that the Designing for Common Problems session is WAY too long. In my prep so far, I have gotten halfway through with the patterns and code in one and a half hours. So who knows what I will do to cut down the time, either limit the patterns, or perhaps split the session? I will figure something out… at least on Saturday when I have real people I can poll the audience to see what they want to see in detail. Online pretty much all you see are people’s names and the clock ticking away.</p> <p>I have a few other things coming up, including picking speakers for <a href="http://www.sqlsaturday.com/145/eventhome.aspx" target="_blank">Nashville’s SQL Saturday</a>, shipping out books to my SQL Rally attendees, and <a href="http://www.devlink.net/" target="_blank">Devlink</a> at the end of the month (when I will have a bit longer to the Common Problems session, thankfully), but more on that after this weekend.</p>
